Handmade with real Irish vintage stamps, this green image of Ireland was the first Irish stamp issued in December of 1922 to celebrate an independent Ireland. A real piece of Irish history transformed into stylish cufflinks. As no two stamps will ever be exactly the same, and postmarks will vary, these cufflinks make a truly original item. Each pair of cufflinks is presented in a black cufflink box, with information about the stamp including the country and year of issue, plus details about the actual stamp image. The stamps are set into high quality silver coloured, nickel plated cufflinks (brass base), with hard wearing swivel barrel fittings. They are then covered with a crystal clear resin dome that magnifies and protects the image, making them durable and scratch proof. As all stamps are franked differently through the postal system, the postmarks on your cufflinks will vary from those shown. The stamps and postmark will, however, be of the same clarity and quality. Cufflink dimensions: Square – cufflink diameter, 20mm, stamp insert diameter 18mm x 18mm square.
